** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tyu6e1xm-Y A sad clown]]... inexplicably protruding from a slice of bread. Which somehow inspires Strong Bad to make it into some kind of weird educational poster: "Don't Toast Your Protruders, Kids!"

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epeYVbHzPdc A guitar]], complete with a ''quadruple'' whammy bar and four plugs: "This one goes to the amp, this one goes to the stage, this one goes straight to the Grammys, and this one goes to... uh... the gold records."

[[AC:Episode 16.2]]* Strong Sad is house-sitting for Marzipan while she's "volunteering in the Coches Mountains, teaching the heathens how to bend pipe cleaners." He makes a few attempts at making up his own answering machine message, including an embarrassing PissTakeRap that he quickly cuts short: "Let's pretend that never happened..."* Strong Bad tries to prank-call Marzipan's, but when he gets a message from Strong Sad he hastily tries to improvise a new prank call: "Um... I'm gonna knee you in the face... for breakfast?" Then he calls "Ella Phantsgerald" to ask if he can pick up a few things he left the last time he was at Marzipan's house... like "my Marizpan's TV, my Marzipan's guitar and amp, and my Marzipan's cash and jewelry." Then we find Strong Bad decided to cut out the middleman and steal the stuff himself.-->'''Strong Bad:''' Yeah, you can ignore that one.* Homestar calls and starts going on about how fine "Marzipan" sounds ("You sound finer than the fine you get when you return a movie late to the movie store!") Then he turns out to be standing in Marzipan's living room.-->'''Strong Sad:''' (''angry'') That is quite enough!\\'''Homestar:''' Oh, Marizpan! You look, um, great. Is that a new... skin you're wearing?\\'''Strong Sad:''' It's Strong Sad!\\'''Homestar:''' It is! It is strong ''sad'' and strong ''unfortunate'' what happened to your face! Ooh! Pyeow! (''runs away, then comes back in'') [[HoYay Call me!]] Pyeow!* The King of Town doesn't catch Strong Sad's message because he was busy eating "a chocolate-covered tapeworm", but leaves a message for "Agent Panzimar" involving a plan for some epic prank against Strong Sad.-->'''King of Town:''' Hit a snag with step 2, though: [[NoodleImplements the camel died and was decidedly un-delicious. Will move forward with barrel of hot sauce approach]]. Provided that makes it past dinner time, look for my signal in the northwest sky. Ting of Kown, out!* Marizpan calls to complain about Strong Sad changing the message on her machine ("Those things are like my adopted foreign babies!"), and to announce she got a call from "Slick Somebody" of "Marzipan's Stupid Face Plumbing" about her "Roman candle valve". Unfortunately, this is right as Strong Sad flushes the toilet, and explosions ensue from just off-screen as Strong Sad runs right into one of Strong Bad's pranks.

--> '''Strong Bad''': Marzipan, look: this is Goatface. I have a goat for a face. Like, not that I have a goat's head for a face, or that my head is a goat's head — like, my face is an entire goat. So, anyways, I was calling you ups 'cause I wanted to join your Goatface Club! Since you've got quite a goat face yourself, I figured you'd be the go-to guy, or gal. It's hard to tell with that goat face of yours. Anyways, my number is {imitates a goat} eeeeeh-uhhh! So gimme a call back! We can compare goat faces, though I can't imagine... that yours... your- is- pret-... you're ugly... Marzipan. This is Strong Bad, and you're ugly.

* Homestar calls to complain that Marzipan didn't tell "ol' Boyfriend Dan" she got into the Goatface Club, which is apparently something Homestar wanted "ever since I was a moderately-sized baby!" Then he gets confused as to who "Boyfriend Dan" is, and in a fit of jealousy tells Marzipan to warn whoever he is "the ol' Goatface Killa is on the loose! Now... that's me, now I'm the Goatface Killa."

* "YOU GOT A CALL FROM THE THNIKKAMAN!" Apparently, the Thnikkaman wants Marzipan to be a back-up dance for his "Thnikkaband".-->'''Thnikkaman:''' All you gotta do is shimmy-shake a little bit to the left, and, if time permits, shimmy-shake a little bit to the right. Oh, and in regards to your question, "can you have some?", yeah, shut up, kid!\\

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I just met with him. Oh yeah, he's real famous. Rich. Rich with money. How many? Five? Five's good.

Needless to say, the impressions he does of Marzipan, Strong Bad, Coach Z, ''himself'', and Strong Sad are hilariously terrible.* [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/answer10.html Homestar takes prank-calling lessons from Strong Bad.]] [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity Ensues as Homestar tries to come up with a good prank-calling nickname]].--> '''Homestar:''' Oh, hello, Marzipan, this is Sugarface.

** Another message has Strong Sad, AKA "The King of April Fools Day Pranks", calling Marzipan to plan something that could top last year's prank, when "[[PokeThePoodle we replaced everybody's toilet paper with 100% post-consumer recycled toilet paper]]".
